Peter Clausen Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I've got a bunch of these that I sell through my website. I don't actively try to get them to breed by testing out different substrates with them, but I did find two eggs stuck to the leg of beetle a couple months ago. I then looked for and found a hatchling larva in the tank. Nobody has really had success getting these to reproduce in captivity. They've only been regularly available to the hobby for about a year. Didn't you say you had a larva hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonbonzovi Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I can't put up a photo at the moment cuase my cage is being fixed i'll show you the pic when i'm done Hey y'all- just checking in to see how the larvae are doing and trying to determine any crucial differences in rearing. Is everyone keeping these at room temp? There was a mention of using rotted leaves as part of the diet- what are you using in particular?

axlopez Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I use Rotten leaves from outside that they seem to be interested in, but prefer corrots and yes keep them at room temp the larva are growing- now two had died but the rest are still growing. now about 19 larva trying to get camera back to show you set up..
